[An] example of the effect of apex predators on an ecosystem is the dramatic changes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem recorded after the gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in 1995. Elk, the wolves’ primary prey, became less abundant and changed their behavior, freeing riparian zones from constant grazing and allowing willows, aspens and cottonwoods to flourish, creating habitats for beaver, moose and scores of other species. 2, record 1, English, - top%20predator

Un superprédateur [...] est un prédateur qui, une fois à l'âge adulte, se trouve au sommet de la chaîne alimentaire et n'est alors la proie d'aucune autre espèce animale [...] Les superprédateurs existent chez les poissons, les oiseaux et les mammifères (terrestres ou marins). 3, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9dateur%20de%20niveau%20trophique%20sup%C3%A9rieur

Self fed supplements, like lick tanks and protein blocks, may have a purpose in grazing situations when there is a desire to minimize the effects on grazing behavior by having the cattle gather up every second day as in the situation with hand fed supplements. 3, record 2, English, - protein%20block

X-band(9. 5-10. 0 GHz) backscatter at near grazing incidence(0. 2 deg) from the sea off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, was measured with a radar characterized by a high spatial resolution in range(0. 3 m) and a high temporal resolution(2000 Hz pulse repetition frequency(PRF].... Each type of clutter exhibited the characteristic spiky behavior which has come to be expected from microwave sea backscatter observed at low grazing angles and high range resolutions, while showing, between themselves, marked transmit geometry and polarization dependent contrasts, with the horizontally polarized clutter, measured with an UP transmit geometry, being especially notable for its frequently occurring, significant high frequency spectral content. 2, record 3, English, - sea%20backscatter
